Those posts where I seem stupid?

I am not disagreeing with Hank.
Most people don't understand that natural selection is quite different from "evolution" on a grand scale.
Any responsible, knowledgeable scientist would admit that there are big, unexplained "holes" (if you want to call them that) in the theory of evolution which may never be answerable, due at least in part to the inevitable inadequacy of the fossil record.
Jared Diamond wrote about such things quite a bit in his columns -- which are pretty accessible and very well done.

Some of those articles are surely goofs.
